What to say, Great actor

"Adult Performer Sledge Hammer Passes Away
LOS ANGELES ? Adult performer Sledge Hammer died early this morning at the age of 39, director Stoney Curtis, his close friend of 20 years, confirmed to XBIZ.

Sledge Hammer, whose legal name was Marland Anderson, had been in a coma since Monday morning after an altercation with police on Sunday night that resulted in him being shot with a Taser gun, Curtis said.

According to Curtis, Anderson had been dealing with various forms of depression during the last several years, and his marijuana use made the depression worse.

?It turned out he genetically had a mild form of schizophrenia, and it wasn?t a problem until he started smoking pot and taking various things for depression,? Curtis explained. ?It got worse and he would have thoughts of extreme paranoia and anxiety.?

On Sunday night in Reseda, Anderson suffered a severe anxiety attack and his girlfriend called 911 to prevent him from harming himself.

?She felt as though he was mentally unstable,? Curtis said. ?She was requesting an ambulance to come get him, but the police showed up with an ambulance and the police walked him down to the ambulance.?

According to the information Curtis received, Anderson did not want to be inside the ambulance and his anxiety worsened, so the ambulance personnel let him out and called the police back to the residence.

?The police came and instead of trying to talk to him or grab him and get him to the ground or the paramedics giving him a sedative, they decided to break out their tasers and just tasered him excessively until the point where he went into cardiac arrest,? Curtis said. ?After he went into cardiac arrest, they rushed him to the hospital and revived him. But they estimated that his heart had stopped beating for 10 minutes. They got his heart beating again and put him on a respirator, but he had massive swelling in the brain from the loss of oxygen.?

Anderson fought for his life all week, Curtis said, but doctors told Anderson?s mother that he likely would never come out of the coma and if he did, he would not regain cognitive functions. So Anderson?s mother decided to take him off the respirator Thursday night.

?The family felt as though he was never going to be the same and never going to wake up, so the mother made the decision to pull the respirator, it was her call,? Curtis continued. ?He passed away at 5 o?clock in the morning at Northridge Hospital.?

Anderson, who was born in Seattle, performed in more than 800 porn movies since 1995, but no one knew him and his work better than Curtis, who made him a star with his numerous scenes for Celestial Productions and then Lethal Hardcore.

?You won?t find too many people that would have a bad thing to say about Marland. He was a very warm-hearted, funny guy who loved his comic books, loved heavy metal, and was very respectful to every girl he ever worked with,? Curtis said. ?And I think most of the guys that worked with him would say the same.?

Curtis met Anderson at the Pizza Hut where Anderson worked not long after graduating from high school in Mission Viejo, Calif.

?He didn?t have much confidence in himself, but I looked at him and said you should have all the confidence in the world in yourself,? Curtis recalled. ?The guy was built like a brick-house. I wasn?t even in porno yet and the two of us knew each other. I?m probably his oldest friend and I just feel horrible.?

Curtis said he is in the process of initiating a full-scale investigation into the incident that caused Anderson to be subdued by police.

?We believe there was excessive force used and investigators and attorneys will be called to get to the bottom of what happened to Marland Anderson,? Curtis said. "Stoney Curtis will see to it that he does not die in vain.

?What I would like to see is a separate number called for people with psychiatric issues where the police are not involved, because the police do not know how to handle someone who is having a mental breakdown. They just break out their clubs and tasers. People shouldn?t be dying just because they are having a mental breakdown.?

He added, ?Marlon was not a violent person. He had no police record, none. He had no weapon on him. They were the ones that walked him down to the ambulance. He was already frisked. They knew he wasn?t armed. Why did he get tasered so much. If they wouldn?t have done that, Marland Anderson would still be alive today.?

one of my favorite straight porn stars

unfortunate the police douchebags that shot him with the taser had no understanding of anxiety and panic attacks

RIP

Mutt · 04-13-2012, 04:44 PM

wow, what a tragic story. definitely needs to be an inquest into his death. he should have been given enough Xanax or whatever to knock himself out.

weed is so bad for people with anxiety.

Smiley · 04-13-2012, 04:46 PM

That fucking sucks...never harmed anyone, no criminal record, so young...unless you are 100% certain to be facing death you really should not call the cops anymore...

Someone unarmed,non violent, with no criminal record is always getting killed over a *misunderstanding*

Rest in Peace Big fella

tonyparra · 04-13-2012, 05:49 PM

Big black guy having a mental breakdown? Whos susprised by the outcome?

NaughtyRob · 04-13-2012, 05:54 PM

Thats really fucked up.

VenusBlogger · 04-13-2012, 06:00 PM

Wow really?

Yeah I remember that guy from the old days when I used to submit gals, he was in many movies with some hot blond.

RIP.

pornlaw · 04-13-2012, 06:03 PM

He was a gentle giant. I met him on one of Vanessa's set when she shot him for Adam & Eve. And I would run into him at an occasional party.

He truly was one of the nicest guys I have met in this business and he treated female talent with a sense of respect that I have never seen from anyone else.

This is truly sad. He will be missed.

Really Einstein? Isn't that obvious? A long list of shit went wrong... then the family claims the police used "Excessive force" (the same family that pulled the plug on him because "he'll never be the same" as if that's possible to know).

lol, read your "cliff notes" again dumbass. YOU don't MAKE it obvious. Quite the opposite.

You start out by saying "cliff notes for those who can't wait to blame police. Sounds to me like there was plenty of cause to be concerned".

Then you run down your "notes" and all of them except that last one backup why you think the police acted accordingly. For someone not reading the article and using the "cliff notes" YOU'RE providing (you know, the actual reason FOR cliff notes) you're implying, based on your initial comment (intentionally or not) that you're voicing a biased POV to those ready to "blame the police". ?excessive force" is very ambiguous and could be attributed to the victim OR the police but because of the slant of your post, YOU don't make it clear.

Context.

He was one of the nicest male performers I have ever met.

Always very polite and respectful.
